Rowan
and I have been getting creative with healthy eating recently. When we held a snowman competition on Facebook last month, we were inspired, so we
set out to make fun, healthy, yummy snowmen snacks. And here's what we
ended up with!

We
rolled banana slices in unsweetened coconut flakes. Then we poked mini
chocolate chips in for the eyes and mouth. Pomegranate seeds worked well
for buttons and we used apple peels for the arms. Then we held them all
together with a toothpick. The only ones we had were ones with little
umbrellas on top, but I think they look pretty cute. And there you have
it! An army of little banana snowmen! Try this at home and gobble as many up as you'd like!

We'd
love to hear about your favorite healthy snacks. Post pictures of your
kids eating a healthy yummy snack as comments to this blog or onto the Lolly & YoYo Facebook page.
At the end of the weekend, we'll pick a winner. And this time, the
winner will get a gift certificate for two free brunches at one of our
favorite healthy restaurants, the Lovin' Oven in Frenchtown New Jersey! Yummy!
